  • just went to 4chan (big mistake i know) and saw some things i wish i didn't . 4chan represents an internet without rules or consequences and the users there are vile and despicable i know some are trolls and you may think they are acting but trust me some of them are only being they are true self and i wish i didn't see it . So my quesrion is what are the worst , vile , despicable things you will do if the world was like that (think purge world) if there is no consequences or rules ?
  • I myself will kill or torture (as in beat the fuck up )the worst people i know ( trust me if you think i am bad for sating this they are worse ).
  • My question is in the body but can't put it in the title due to character limits (Also added question mark in title to complay with a rule ).

EDIT : so are you people telling me if there are no rules obviosly society will go to shit and you would do nothing ? Yes i stand by what i said as i have seen too much child rapists and other vile people walk away without little to no consequences and all i could do was watch so if there is a chance i will kill or beat them up.

EDIT : I know even i can feel the edge of this post and yea it does look like a edgy teenager wrote it.

EDIT : Why the down votes ? As far as i can see i have broke no rules and this is a legitimate question and this isn't an opinion that you can down vote if you don't like it is a question.

The funny thing about a no rules scenario is it necessitates no people.

Once you have more than one person you have rules, and politics. The most basic rules are simple survival mode, just like animals in the wild, don't mess with other people unless your willing to fight and die for it.

You stack up more rules the more you cooperate with others. Just as a way to cooperate, set norms, expected behaviors.

I think lots of the sophomoric no rules scenarios are just power fantasies, i.e. what would they like to do if there were no consequences.

In real life there are always consequences, even if there isn't a central authority
